RE: "Normal winter driving conditions" vs TV "reality" shows
Psst......Don't tell folks how great it is in the North durng winter!! I would much rather drive in Michigans UP in the winter than Ohio or Indiana in the winter as they have to much moisture in the snow and folks drive like they only have five minutes to live. I tall adds up to a greasey mess! -20 on hard packed snow in the UP is great!

RE: speed limit in Canada, Sault to Ottawa hwy. 17
Thanks for all the replies. We just got back from the trip to Maine. My reason for asking had been to figure out if it was quicker to add miles but drive faster going thru the US. It didn't make sense to add that many extra miles so we went across Canada and stopped at a ton of Tim Horton's. We were intrigued by all the turtle crossing signs along the Ottawa River. I also found it interesting that very few people were driving real fast. We got passed at times but everyone seemed to be within 2 or 3km of the speed limit. Is it respect for the law or fear of the OPP? For me I am always afraid of what happens if you get stopped so I just made sure to use the cruise control at the speed limit!

speed limit in Canada, Sault to Ottawa hwy. 17
We are going to be heading for Maine from Michigans UP and I was just curious what the speed limit is. I googled it but didn't seem to find a good answer. I am guessing that it is 100kph. Anybody know for sure? Thanks!!

University of Maine -opinions
Our youngest wants to drive out to U Maine for a tour. Has anyone gone there or had friends or relatives go there? We live above 45 degrees latitude so the weather won't be an issue for her. As parents we interested about crime rates, school reputation, etc. Any insight would be appreciated!
Thanks!

Home made salsa?
We made salsa this lst weekend and now we are wondering how long it will keep? Any ideas? The store bought kind is generally good for a few weeks before it grows fuzz.

RE: 2011 Winnebago Sightseer 35J
The 2008 that we have does not have a pass thru. You will love the 35J, I wish we had it when the kids were real young. Now they are 19 and 16 but we still love it after 4 years!

House siding computer program??
We are thinking about "bricking" house. Does anyone know if there is a program out there that will let you super-impose a new siding over a picture of your house?
Thanks!

RE: Superior Motorhome
Yep, that is exactly what it looked like except it was a light blue color. I did take a picture and if I can figure out how to upload it I will post it.

Superior Motorhome
I found a Superior 2000 at Tahquamenon Falls in the UP yesterday. I had never heard of one before. This one was very well cared for and was from California. I would upload a picture of it but I never seem to do it right!

Need help finding the plug for brake controller 2013 cambria
Trying to help my father in law plug in his brake controller on their Itasa Cambria. Under the dash on the left side there is a plug that has six blades but the end off the controller that came out of an '06 F-150 has six holes for six pins. I am guessing that this is just fords way of requiring the purchase of a new end for the controller but thought I would check here to see if this is even the right plug under ths dash. (our '08 winne sightseer had the plug and play up above the steering column and took quite a while to find)
As Always thanks!

RE: Onan 5500 Marquis spark plugs
750 hours on the genset. It shuts down sometimes after it starts and while going down the road. I figure before I panic I will do the simlpe things like plugs and oil. I have changed the oil before but have never changed the plugs and according to the book they should have been changed around 150 hours.(oops!)

RE: Onan generator
Give the new member a break. If he has posted it on another one of the forums here just ignore it and if it happens that the same question was posted by someone else at an earlier time so be it. While I enjoy being able to search the archives for answers I sometimes believe that with the way technology advances you are better off asking the question as a new post to get newer info. Not trying to bust your chops but we an RV community don't help our image by jumping on somebody in a public forum about a duplicate post.
Have a great day and enjoy the rights we have in this great Country!

Onan 5500 Marquis spark plugs
Does anyone know what size socket is needed for removing the plugs? I am guessing it must be metric as none of my SAE sockets fit.
thanks!

RE: Bug ID help needed!
Thanks for all the responses. It appears that the guess of a Harlequin Bug (aka stink bug) is the winner. While I still haven't heard from the bug ID folks at Oregon, I shot the picture to our local high school science teacher and he is about certain it is a Harlequin Bug. According to him there are over 4,700 species of stink bug world wide and about 200 species live in the US. The multitude of color patterns is due to the different species mating with others of the same scientifc family, similar to humans mating across race and ethnicity lines. It is amazing what you can learn from a Bug!!!! (and a really good science teacher!!)

Bug ID help needed!
http://tinypic.com/r/bjiekm/6This past weekend I found the bug in the photo walking across the drive. As a bug goes it is a pretty bug with yellow, green, red/orange, and black on it. I can not find it in my Audubon insect book and it is driving me nuts trying to figure out what it is. We live in Michigan's UP (Eastern End) just above 46 degrees north latitude.
Thanks!

RE: SE Lansing, MI Campgrounds?
We have always enjoyed Sleepy Hollow just North of Lansing. Lansing is such a small town that the difference between being on the South side or North side really is only a matter of twenty minutes or so. If in Lansing be sure to visit the Michigan Museum downtown.
